Saint-Saëns

Description

Lang Lang presents a new, multifaceted album full of discoveries for music lovers of all ages. At the heart of the program are two masterpieces by Saint-Saëns: The Carnival of the Animals, a gem that has captivated young listeners for generations, and the romantic and virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2, which rivals the greatest works by Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky. Lang Lang is joined by esteemed partners, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under the direction of Andris Nelsons and pianist Gina Alice. Famous pieces by Fauré, Ravel, Debussy, and Delibes complete the double album, along with rarer works by five French female composers.
